I though big brothers were supposed to protect me So why's it feel like mine are trying to forget me If my whole family thinks that I'm just a deadbeat The shoes that I was trying to fill would be empty And Nick I promise I won't ever forget you I know you hate me so I'm just gonna let you It's crazy after all the things that we went through I still wish something I could do would impress you And I just wish that we'd find some sort of middle ground I guess your little brother isn't so little now You have your family, I'm the one who got singled out As we get older things just aren't so simple now Last time we talked was from before I turned 17 Now I'm out in California, I'm 23 I miss my brother and my dad, I miss everything You missed everything But life goes on I know you'll hear this song North Carolina Don't seem so far away It's just been way too long I know its not your fault I needed someone You all just walked away I though big brothers were supposed to protect me So why's it feel like mine are trying to forget me If my whole family thinks that I'm just a deadbeat The shoes that I was trying to fill would be empty And Nick I promise I won't ever forget you I know you hate me so I'm just gonna let you It's crazy after all the things that we went through I still wish something I could do would impress you And I just wish that we'd find some sort of middle ground I guess your little brother isn't so little now You have your family, I'm the one who got singled out As we get older things just aren't so simple now Last time we talked was from before I turned 17 Now I'm out in California, I'm 23 I miss my brother and my dad, I miss everything You missed everything
